Does this word frighten anyone else as it does myself? In closing of my last post, I said "Be Special," and I know that everyone has aspirations of being acceptional. But does anyone's drive for success come not only from a desire to accomplish but from a fear of being average? To me, mediocrity is unacceptable, and inevitably precedes anonymity. I aspire to greatness, and though this may seem hard to believe, it is none the less, true. A mediocre life is one that has nothing to show for itself, one that has been satisfied with a bare minimum, and with "scraping by." This willingness to settle is hard for me to comprehend. I have seen the wonderful people in my life, and the greatness that not only have the achieved, but I have caught a glimpse of what they will achieve in the future. To me, being average is easy. It requires no great talent, no dedication, no hard work or sacrifice. In a way, mediocrity is non-existence. Well, I think I've been inspired enough for one night. It's time for bed. Remember....Exist, aspire to greatness.
